Police Catch Transgender Suspect Accused Of Double Murder Hiding In Weeds

Law enforcement officials in Utah located a transgender suspect who they believe is responsible for murdering two people inside their home this week who share the same last name as the suspect.

Police began searching for 28-year-old Collin Troy Bailey on Tuesday night after they were called about shots fired in a neighborhood in Washington County.

They said that officers entered the home through the front door and discovered a man and a woman who had been shot to death.

Police identified Bailey as the sole suspect in the case and described him as a “transgender male transitioning to a female and [who] currently goes by the name of Mia Bailey.” They said that he wears “wigs and is known to change hairstyles frequently.”

Authorities located Bailey hiding in a field of weeds on Wednesday afternoon and quickly arrested him without further incident, according to video that was recorded from the moment that he was captured.

While no information has been released about the identities of the victims, the Daily Mail reported that the home where the murders happened was listed as Bailey’s home address and others who were listed as living at the residence included “Gail Bailey, 69, and her husband Joseph, 70, who appear to be Bailey’s parents.”

Washington City Police Department Lt. Kory Klotz said that Bailey had a firearm on him when he was located by law enforcement and that he put it on the ground before he was arrested. The weapon was later recovered by law enforcement.

“We have some good news,” said Officer Tiffany Mitchell with the St. George Police Department. “We have the suspect in custody. Everyone is safe. No one else was injured.”

Riley Gaines-Backed Sportswear Company Banned From TikTok Over Ad Defending Women’s Sports

XX-XY Athletics, a sportswear company founded by former Levi Strauss & Co President Jennifer Sey — and backed by former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines — has reportedly received a permanent ban from TikTok over a video advertisement promoting and defending women’s sports.

Sey shared the news — and the ad — via X on Tuesday, saying, “When you run an ad standing up for women and girls’ sports, you get banned for life from @tiktok_us. Here’s the ad. Offensive, right?”

“If you think girls’ and women’s equality matter, stand up,” the ad begins. “If you think girls’ and women’s sports matter, and you want your daughters to have the same opportunity you had, stand up. If you know that it isn’t fair — or safe — to allow males to compete in girls sports because it’s, well, obvious, stand up.”

“Don’t be cowed by people who call you a bigot. You’re not a bigot,” it continues. “Don’t let men tell us how to be ‘good’ girls. Don’t let others tell you you just need to be quiet, sit down, be nice. It’s not nice to further a lie. It’s not mean to believe in women’s equality. We deserve our own sports, privacy, fairness, safety. We deserve a chance to compete, and win. So don’t be nice. Don’t be careful. Be honest, be brave, fight for women. We’ve come too far to give up now. And if you agree with that, stand up and stand with us.”

Sey also shared a copy of the letter she received from TikTok stating that while the sportswear company’s account would still be accessible, none of their ads would go live on the platform.

“Our review indicates that your advertising content may violate TikTok’s advertising policies by featuring offensive content,” the letter read, adding that the decision could be appealed if a request was submitted within 180 days.

“Speak up. Stand up. Vote with your dollars. Don’t buy brands that don’t know what a woman is. Truth is counting on you,” Sey added in a follow-up post.

“We’ve normalized discrimination against women and girls. What used to be called misogyny is now labeled as ‘progress,’ ‘inclusion,’ and ‘tolerance.’ Why do young girls have to suffer for the delusions of entitled men?” Paula Scanlan added.
